Musik magazine archives (1995-2003)

Amazing covers, almost all the legends of dance music are here. Junior Vasquez, Sasha, BT, Oakenfold. And check out Daft Punk without the masks on issue #21!

What's also interesting is the focus shifting from House and Trance in the 1990s to Rap and Hip-Hop in the 2000s. I'm guessing if the magazine was still in publication during the very late 2000s we would have seen a reverse of this trend.

If you like this, you may also be interested in the mu:zines archive which includes Sound on Stage, Recording Musician, and others going back to the early 1980s:

In this archive I found a 1981 interview with Hans Zimmer in Electronics & Music Maker. It included a photograph of the giant Moog he got from a member of Tangerine Dream. He also revealed he was mostly self taught, although he did learn how to read music as a young adult.

Now that listening to Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 has officially become impossible outside the UK, this is a wonderful opportunity to remember what we had and how amazing it was.

One quote from Pete Tong: "The golden rule is that clubbers always stay the same age and you just get older. You have to be excited by the same things as they are because the minute you aren't, you'll find yourself losing the plot." He is 65 in 2025

Wow, thanks. Never even heard of this one... and it's a weekly too? God, now I have to figure out what the correct wget params are again...
